BWI to Speed Up Customs Lines Via Mobile App

BALTIMORE (AP) - Travelers to BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport now have the option of using a mobile application to get through customs faster.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a news release Friday that the airport will become the 18th one to offer Mobile Passport Control admission processing.
